Purely Joyful Movie!

One of my all time favorites.

Dreadfully Boring

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I remember watching this fondly on ITV in the UK when it originally aired on the Children's hour on television. During that time not knowing it was originally a book by Alexander Dumas I found the show entertaining with the characters being interesting along with the story lines intertwined with good chemistry and animation. The series remains sincere to the works of Dumas to which this series introduced me to as it captivated me and was educational for children. Instead of making a spin off later in 1990 they could of made an entire series of the Dumas works with a little more episodes. The faults are few in the series. I understand the series is aimed at children but the characters could of been slightly more formal as in the classic works better represented by human characters and Juliette should of been cast as Constance because the other characters have their original names. instead of doing another season of the series they should of concluded with another Dumas classic The Count of Monte Cristo as a good successor a little later after this was completed.

Despite the manipulation into Twenty Six episodes, DATTM was a true classic, I loved the series, I was given the DVDs as a present and I just love it to death, my real favourite cartoon of the 80s. The only thing that put me off it was the fact that Dogtanian had a doggy name and of course, he never even saw his parents or school friends again and Juliette, been given a name like in Disney films, where the heroine is named (eg.The LIttle Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast etc.) well that was a few years before that happened. Pip tough was the most annoying and the episodes focusing on a jungle, just put the cartoon off a little.Overall, still a brilliant masterpiece in the making.

Also known as "Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds", this animated TV series was memorable in the lives of many people when they were children, including me.Basically it is the legendary story of D'Artagnan and the three musketeers, but because this is an animated version, it has a charm of its own and a certain nostalgia feeling I can't explain. Being an animated version, this one is naturally a version with anthropomorphic animals, in this case dogs (as you can see by its title).This is a classic animated TV series perfectly suitable for children, being charming, sweet and timeless, unlike most today's cartoons which are ugly, uninteresting, pretty violent, almost painfully noisy and often contain destructive humor. This animated TV show is from another time, a gold generation which was the very best to be a child and when everything was totally different.The opening song is absolutely adorable and timeless. Put it this way, it is a lovely song. So memorable that once you hear it, you'll never forget it for as long as you live.Although the popular story of D'Artagnan and his three musketeers is french, this is actually a Spanish production, which manages to be loyal to the french story yet has a characteristic Latin enchant, resulting in a great combination of both.D'Artacan (or Dogtanian) lives many adventures with his partners and friends (the 3 muskehounds), but he has also an original and humorous little friend: a very talkative and energetic anthropomorphic mouse that speaks with a strong Latin accent. But I can't remember the mouse's name...I always found Milady (an anthropomorphic cat) to be a strange character: very mysterious and enigmatic. She's the kind of character that at times seems to be a brief friend, but is also a troublemaker for Dogtanian as she often hypnotizes him.In conclusion: this is a cartoon to have fond memories of.

Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds (as it was called in the UK) was a decent show. The animation may not have been the best ever and it wasn't the most memorable show but it had it's moments.Dogtanian was a puppy who came to Paris to join the Kings Own Guard. He manages to fall in love with Juliette and teams with three swordsters by the name of Athos, Porthos and Aramis to engage in battle. It was one for all and all for one.I wouldn't call the show a classic cartoon show but the characters were quite interesting and it is certainly worth a look.
